'From Zion's Dawn' is a concise and condensed account of the history of modern Israel from 1880 to the present day, focusing on the confluence of historical events that miraculously coalesced to bring about the restoration of the Jewish people to their ancestral homeland. This record of modern Israel's journey to statehood encompasses all the triumphs and tragedies of its turbulent history. It is, a roller coaster ride of mesmeric proportions, as we witness the colossal historical upheavals of the first half of the 20th Century. This history of modern Israel is set against the backdrop of two World Wars, the collapse of the age of empires, a redrawing of national boundaries, the fall of imperialism, the rise of nationalism, the political machinations of world powers, and wholesale racial extermination on an industrial scale. The book highlights how God orchestrated the events of early 20th Century history to bring about what many considered not only inconceivable but impossible, the Sovereign state of Israel. This is the story of how a Zionist idea grew into a political movement that not only changed the socio-political landscape of the middle east but brought about a dream that was kept alive in the hearts of a people through long centuries. It reflects the irrepressible spirit of an estranged people imbued with the determination of a two-thousand-year journey to find their way home. It records how that undying hope became a reality, as God miraculously continued to advance his divine timeline, at whose heart lay his chosen people. This book examines the phenomenal story of how a Jewish political movement grew into a world organization that managed to navigate the shifting socio-political landscape of a changing world, until it emerged fifty years later as the independent sovereign state of Israel. It also reveals the stoic and resolute defense of that nation against overwhelming odds, and its progressive development in subsequent years, as it evolved both in power and prosperity through the postmodern era. Israel has never known a day without conflict since winning its independence. It is a state that has faced and survived the existential threat of surrounding hostile nations, five wars, constant and unrelenting acts of terror, and a decades-long campaign of delegitimization. It has also survived economic collapse, domestic turmoil, and international political pressure, to become a powerhouse of technological, military, economic and cultural might, that stands today amongst the nations of the world's elite. 'From Zion's Dawn' is an account of the divine orchestration of Israel's restoration. It is a significant watershed in the continued unfolding of God's eternal plan of redemptive history. The power of the book lies in its brevity and pace. The succinct and fluid expression helps frame the salient events and personalities of those early decades, without sacrificing any of its content. It sweeps the reader through the time tunnel of history as they witness the hand of God at every turn.
